Hello, My name is Rebecca and I work for the BBC in Scotland. I am travelling to Spain next week, and will be based in Benidorm area, I think. We are filming a piece to be broadcast on TV/Radio/Digital/Online about Scottish people living in Europe, and what Brexit means for them. Hopes/fears/concerns. I am keen to speak to a variation of people.. young, old, working, retired, families, entrepreneurs. I would appreciate any pointers, or if anyone knows any Scottish families living over there, would be great to get in touch with them. I have some things set up already, the main thing I am missing, and am really keen to find, is a young family. Really appreciate your time, and looking forward to visiting your part of the world for the first time! Thank you. Rebecca Curran, Senior broadcast journalist, BBC Scotland.

Hi Rebecca,

We are in San Miguel de Salinas, which may be too far from Benidorm, but we are a Scottish couple and run a Bed & Breakfast here.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. Is that about an hour and a quarter from Benidorm? Might be a bit too far, but let me see and I'll get back to you. Thank you again. Rebecca
